Hello all. I have been using Xwiki for a few years for my personal wiki. Still the usability is not as obvious as the rival confluence. I want to start using it at my IT job site if its gets more usable (we are using mediawiki now). The new WYSIWYG editor and bootstrap GUI are a huge way forward!
Here are some points I would like to see
• Better page layout options to quickly create columns and sections
• Add and editing tables needs to be more evident (when adding use a drop-down to draw the table), The table alignment is horrible (you need to wiggle the rows around to make it look nice) I want them to be responsive, When I select a table I want table edit buttons in the top WYSIWYG editor, Live sorting
• Autocomplete (for [links, @mentions, @names, {macros and !files)
• When inserting a macro containing text (like a box or code macro) make it editable in the WYSIWYG editor. Not a small macro editor popup.
• When editing a macro give a few more most use options (like in the code macro a drop down for different languages show or hide line numbers theme used. In the box macro the most used CSSClasses, make title bold, backgroundcolor with color selector from theme colors)
• Add icons to insert macro’s to make search faster
• Paste images into the page editor(this may give a pop-up on what to do with the image.
• Make the create page template system more simple
• Something as the confluence page properties
• Insert icons or symbols button in WYSIWYG
• Align text left, center, right
• User macro’s
I if there is I would like to suggest usability suggestions from time to time. I do not want to discriminate Xwiki with using the names of the rival.
